2.Love Somebody Like You by Susan Lyons. Zebra Kensington Books 2015. Netgalley. Contemporary Romance. Sally Ryland has survived a nightmare, abusive marriage to her deceased husband, Pete. She’s building a new life with a riding school but she still keeps herself isolated. That all changes when an old friend from her rodeo days appears on her doorstep. Ben Traynor is nursing an injury from bronco riding. He has always liked Sally and wanted to get to know her better. When he sees her working herself to the bone, he offers to help. Together, they begin to repair a fractured past. This book made me cry, laugh, and celebrate second chances. As a survivor of abuse, I found the heroine spot-on and someday I hope to find my own Ben Traynor. Just a beautiful, beautiful, heartwarming story. I’m told this is part of the Caribou Crossings series but a standalone. I can attest that you don’t need to read the others to follow this one but after reading this, you might just want to look for the others!! It’s that good!!
